New Generation Schools Trust opened Hope Community School in September 2013, a Free School, to meet the increasing demand for primary school places in the local area.
At Hope Community School we believe every person is a unique individual with special gifts, talents, skills and experiences. Our school will treat every child as an individual and will recognise individual differences and work with children and their families to agree personal goals. Children are created with a capacity to learn and achieve, to explore, understand and affect the world around them.
Hope will cultivate a growth mindset in children and young people so that they expect to work to achieve success, do not fear failure and are comfortable with challenge. We believe success requires learning to "grow" intelligence through hard work, risk-taking and reflecting on mistakes and failures. Teaching and learning at Hope will aim to develop children who are motivated to face challenges and take control of their learning.
We are seeking to appoint a Class Teacher who has the drive to achieve the very best for our pupils and has interpersonal skills to play a key role in shaping our school’s successful future.
Through a Christian ethos and personalised curriculum, Hope Community School provides an excellent education experience for all children and families. As a School, we have a desire to innovate and serve the local community.
